Blizzard-like conditions hit Gaylord, N. Michigan

February 05, 2003

But just in case you missed the wild winter storm and its after-effects, might we suggest you take a look outside.

Throughout the day Tuesday, motorists creeped along local roadways, trying their best to remember where to stop for traffic signals and how to maneuver their vehicles on snow-covered paths. People were stuck in drifts in their driveways, and it quickly became evident the best place to be Tuesday was nestled snug at home, a cup of hot chocolate in hand.

Even after the wild day during which schools - Gaylord, Vanderbilt and Johannesburg-Lewiston - called off classes at or about noon to return students safely to their homes, it seems Mother Nature hasn't finished with the area. Snow is predicted to fall from the skies throughout the remainder of the week.
